Data Execution prevention? DEP? This is preventing my iTunes from opening?

Okay, so I finally got the "Critical Quicktime component missing" error message off of there, but now everytime I try to open iTunes, it says that i has "stopped working" and DEP prevents it from opening. Well, when I go to change my DEP settings, it says that it will not run without it. I'm quickly approaching my wits end. Please help me.

First check to see if QUicktime works normally, iTunes will not work without it.
If Quicktime is OK, then use this troubleshooting article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
If QUicktime does not work, describe what happens with any error message in full.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them, they are know to casue problems with QUickitme.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

Okay.
Is the quickTime player launching at the moment? Or are you getting error messages with that, too?

itunes will not open and I get a message that the "Data Execution Prevention (DEP)" feature in Windows is preventing it from opening. (this is after I've been using itunes for years???? If I try to manually deselect itunes from the DEP filter, of course I get a message that itunes cannot operate without the DEP active...another Catch 22 from the evil program designers....

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Data Execution Prevention prevents itunes from opening on my user ID, but not every other user ID.

I completely deleted every Apple file from my computer. There are 4 user IDs on my computer. Mine is the Administrator, my husband's ID my son's ID. and a completely new ID I set up to see if I could get iTunes to work.
I reinstalled iTunes 10.5 on my Administrator ID. The installation went fine, but iTunes will not open in my ID, or my husband's ID. I get the message that Data Execution Prevention has closed it. iTunes will open in my son's ID, as well as the new ID I set up for iTunes testing.
I have tried uninstalling (deleting ALL Apples files) and reinstalling on my ID as a Standard user. Same thing. iTunes doesn't work on my ID or husband's, but does on the other 2 User IDs.
I have not activated Microsoft Outlook on the 2 IDs where iTunes works. Outlook is activated on the other 2 User IDs.
Does something about Outlook cause me to get the DEP error? Is there a way to fox this problem? I really don't want to have to go to a completely different User ID everyt ime I want to use iTunes.
I am using Windows Vista Home Deluxe, and installing the 64-bit iTunes download on the Apple.com website.
I have used instructions from several documents here on the Apple boards. The ones I use most are "iTunes for Windows:Doesn't open after upgrading in Windows Vista of Windows 7". "iTunes for Windows of Windows 7:Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues", and on this one, I followed the instructions for user-specific troubleshooting. I also followed the instructions in "General installation troubleshooting".
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes so many times, i can almost do it in my sleep. Somebody please help. My iPhone and iPod need updating!! Thanks!!!

How do I prevent iTunes from opening when I pug in my iPod?

How do i prevent tunes from opening when i plug in my ipod?

This will occur when there are photos and/or videos in the Camera Roll, which should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Depending on the iPhoto version you are running, this can be done via iPhoto preferences > connected camera opens > select no application.

How do I prevent iTunes from opening every time I sign on to Windows?

I have finally gotten iTunes kinstalled on my Windows 7 64 bit computer,, however every time I log in, the iTunes window opens. How do I stop this?

This is crazy. If they are going to make iTunes available in Windows, must they punish Windows users by making us change config settings just to keep a program from opening at Startup? A simple checkox in the Settings box of iTunes would make it much easier. Why do Apple-based programs that are made available to Windows users not work as Windows programs do?

Has anyone encountered issues with Data Execution Protection (DEP) when using windows with Muse?

A week without my Muse. Please HELP. I am trying to be Patient.
Each time I try to open my muse it is freezing and shutting down right away. I open the file and it just freezes. I get a window that pops up explaining DEP (I have tried to shut it off and it doesn't work). Has anyone else ever had this happen? I really want to get my Muse working again, its going on a week without. I have windows Vista, 32 bit. Since I did the recent updates its not working anymore. Can I roll back to an older version? Thank you.

So I found a fix to this myself. I found that others were having the same issue in Photoshop CS6 too. What I did was go to open the app, right click on the app icon, go to properties>compatibility>click the box for Compatibility Mode that says "Run this program in compatibility mode for:: select your operating system (Mine was windows xp sp2). I also selected "Run as Administrator". So far it is working, I am upset that this was such a simple go around and I have been without my muse for over a month now.

How can I prevent iTunes from opening when Firefox is open, when the computer is not used for a few minutes?

iTunes opens on my screen if Firefox is on, with page minimised or with current page open, if I do not use the machine for a few minutes. I can't find anything to turn this off.

When you first insert a CD your Mac comes up with a box saying
"You have inserted a CD" (duuh, Apple...)
Then you choose from a pop-up menu that offers "Open in Finder", "Open in iTunes", etc
At some point you (or someone) has chosen "Open in iTunes" then checked the little box that says "Make this the default from now on".
If you go into System Prefs (as already mentioned) you have a choice to reset what you want to do with a blank CD.

Do the HD icons appear on your Desktop?
If not, adjust your Finder preferences:
Also check "Hard Disks" if you want your internal HD to appear on the Desktop.
Open one, open the other, should be no problem.

The instructiion at 0x5de7cfe3 referenced memory at 0x00000004. The memory could not be read. I keep getting this error message, and iTunes keeps opening automatically.

I upgraded to 10.5 last weekend, and since then my iTunes keeps popping open. I get the error message above, but sometimes the first "code" is different, the last time it was 0x6473cfe3 instead. So irritating....

Try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does that clear up the launch errors in iTunes?

Software not installed correctly to communicate with ipod/iphone. This message appears when itunes is opened

software not installed correctly to communicate with ipod/iphone. please install again

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Paradox concerning DEP (Data Execution Prevention) when opening LabVIEW

When I try to launch LabVIEW, DEP (Data Execution Prevention) prevents me from opening it. I have followed instructions and attempted to make an exception for LabVIEW, but I get a message saying the following:
"This program must run with data execution protection (DEP) enabled.
You cannot turn off DEP for this program."
It seems that I need this "DEP" program to run LabVIEW, but at the same time it is keeping me from running it. Help would be very much apprecaited.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Cailin,
The Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature included in
modern Microsoft Windows operating systems that is intended to prevent
malicious code from running on the system.
Here are two methods to fixing this problem:
Method 1:
Follow these steps to add an exception for the program from the DEP error message:
When you receive the error message click Change Settings.
Select the check box next to the program, and then click Apply.
When you are prompted to restart your computer, click OK two times, and then restart your system.
Method 2:
You can also add an exception for the program by using System Properties in Control Panel. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
Click the Advanced tab, click Performance, and then click Settings.
In Performance Options, click the Data Execution Prevention tab, and then click Add.
In the Open dialog box, locate and then click the program.
Click Open, click Apply, and then click OK. When you are prompted to restart your computer, click OK.

Data Execution Prevention preventing iTunes from working

I have iTunes 8.0.2.20 running on Windows Server 2008 SP1. Whenever I plug in my iPod Nano, Data Execution Prevention (DEP) shuts down iTunes. I can't create an exception for iTunes in DEP since it gives the following error message:
+"This program must run with data execution protection (DEP) enabled. You cannot turn off DEP for this program."+
Any ideas on what might be causing this issue?

No, i do not have quickTime player.
I have tried to close dep off for iTunes but failed to do so as i got a msg that iTunes can't work without Dep in execution data prevention.

Data Execution prevention? DEP? This is preventing my iTunes from opening?
